Zelaya Agrees to Leave Honduras This Week

Source: Inside Costa Rica

TEGUCIGALPA - Ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya has accepted a deal to go to the Dominican Republic this week when his four-year term ends and his predecessor is sworn in, his top political adviser said.

Zelaya said that he will return "when there is a process of reconciliation".

The ousted president said he can leave as an ordinary citizen on the 27th, leaving the Brazilian embassy where he has been in refuge since last September when he returned to Honduras.

On January 27, Porfirio Lobo takes office as the next Honduran president after winning the November 29 elections in that country.

without the knowledge of the Zelaya people. And then, there was a report that he wants to go to Mexico.

ETA: It looks like it is real.
